Tab Control

A Tab Control block arranges other blocks on separate, tabbed pages.

See also: Tab Page — available after you select Tab Control in the Block UI Styler; adds another tab in the Tab Control. Tab Page has no dedicated documentation page of its own (it is a sub-item created interactively under Tab Control), so its properties are managed as part of the Tab Control's Members collection.

Block-specific properties

Property Name	Description	Access	Property Type	List of Values
ActivePage	Sets the current page.	CSG	Integer	Any integer value less than the number of Members.
HighQualityBitmap	Specifies whether to show the current bitmap with true color (24-bit).	CIG	Logical	TRUE — show with true color. FALSE — do not show.
Localize	Allows localization of the block Label if it matches an English string in the NX localization database.	CIG	Logical	TRUE — translate. FALSE — do not translate.
Members	A list of blocks that become the pages of the Tab block. Each member can be a Group Block, which can itself contain many other blocks. For ease of use, the Block UI Styler (interactively) manages these as Tab Pages.	G	Array	Object of type NXOpen.BlockStyler.PropertyList, an indexed list. Each block obtained via GetUIBlock(Index).
RetainValue	Specifies if the last active page will be saved in dialog memory (upon OK, Apply, or Close).	CSG	Logical	TRUE — save active page to dialog memory. FALSE — do not save.
TabsPerRow	Specifies the number of rows on a Tab. This property is only applicable on Unix systems.	CIG	Integer	Any integer value.
HiddenTabPages	Lets you show or hide the tab pages.	CSG	Array	List of index values of the defined Tab Pages. Example: if 5 Tab Pages are defined and you set the array to [0, -1, 2, -2, -1], NX hides the first and third tab page (positive index = hidden, negative index = shown). NX also hides a tab if the tab page's own Show property is set to False.
